- Shubman smashed aggressively during the powerplay and then crouched towards the middle phase of the game to deal with the spinners.

Shami Scalped Five Wickets Adding to the Victory
Mohammed Shami’s bowling precision on line and length was equally impressive, helping India win the game. He took 5 wickets for 53 runs, restricting the Bangladesh squad to a total of 228 runs.
Shami led the bowling front in the Champions Trophy 2025 with his five-wicket haul in the game. As the pitch was slow, it was crucial to get optimal scores in the powerplay, and the openers, Gill as well as Rohit Sharma, helped India reach 69 in the first 10 overs.
The Indian batter Rohit Sharma began against Mustafizur Rahman with a slow pace. Later, he took the left-arm pacer to the cleaners, hitting seven boundaries, and fans were thrilled over his off-side shots through the square cut.
Gill was equally fueled to pull off against Tanzim Hasan with a six and left him over covers in the game. Bangladesh tried to retain the pace with the help of spinner Mehidy Hasan and Rishad Hossain, who controlled the runs during the middle overs.
India’s Form Makes Them a Top Betting Favorite
Gill and K.L. Rahul went off as great finishers in the match, standing as pillars to bag a triumph for the ‘Men in Blue’. Bangladesh chose to bat and lost two critical wickets in two overs itself.
Gill anchored the chase when Rohit got out at 26 off 23. He took selective risks and marked boundaries in the overs of fast bowler Tanzim Hasan while striking singles when spinner Mustafizur was on the mark.
With performances like these, India is proving to be a dominant force in the Champions Trophy. The squad’s consistency has also made them a popular choice among cricket bettors. Many punters are turning to best cricket betting sites in India to place wagers on India's matches, as the team's balanced lineup and match-winning players make them a strong contender for the trophy.
